Don't ask us for help

Remember when Bush said in the 2000 campaign he wanted to restore "honor and dignity" to the White House?

If I were an Iraqi working for the Army/Marines/US government over there and there's a withdrawal from Iraq on this President's watch (yeah, yeah, unlikely, I know), I'd start looking to my hole card. This Administration has shown a willingness to throw former allies (not its really good buddies, like Libby or Wolfie, but others like John Snow) under the nearest bus when they become a nuisance, so I wouldn't expect that we'd offer the average Iraqi businessman, translator or office clerk asylum in the US when the whole enterprise collapses. What's one more opportunity to embarrass the country before the rest of the world? That wouldn't cause these clowns one bit of distress.

I would imagine that, with the Democrats in charge of both the Congress and the Presidency, it will be they who will deny Iraqis asylum after the retreat.

When washing hands, why not do it thoroughly?
